A strong enough collection in this installment from McSweeney’s, featuring a diverse set of authors and a theme of the immigrant experience, though a little uneven. My favorites: “I Pledge Allegiance to the Butterfly”, by Maria Kuznetsova “Five Petals Proud”, by Aya Osuga A. “The Wall”, by Meron Hadero “Cappuccino Please”, by Edvin Suasic “The Cobbler and the Acolyte”, by Ilan Mochari “Chinese Girls Don’t Have Fairy Tales”, by Rita Chang-Eppig My favorite quote, from “Many Scattered a Bench Along the Banks of Coralville Lake”, by Novuyo Rosa Tshuma, about a funeral: “Their voices tintinnabulated in that death-still afternoon, seeking those soprano peaks and contralto watersheds and tenor valleys, relentless, relentless. They dragged out sorrow as though it were death or its occasion that had given them the wisdom to mine our deepest pits of woe and reflect them back to us in songfuls of unbearable feeling, imploring us nevertheless to bear it. And it was beautiful to hear, and awful, too, so very awful.” geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Inside are stories of home and family, of punctured soccer balls and haplessly treated Rolexes, of code-switching and generational divides and burying loved ones and prank phone-calling 911. Plus, with this hardcover avalible in three colors--green, blue, and tan--you can get one of each to match any outfit and/or living room set. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The issue is a nice hardback published with covers of different colors: the one I received is light brown. In a clever touch, the book itself is made to appear like a little suitcase: the binding has an illustration of a handle and the endpapers have a charming drawing of an open suitcase with objects that are specific to characters in the stories.
